smell
5. Multi-sensual Marketing
taste &
smell touch
vision
hearing
We are used to associating particular consumer environments with specific senses,
like a supermarket with vision, or a perfume counter with smell, but clever
marketing will make use of as wide a range of sensory stimulation as possible.

8. Sensory Adaptation Can you still smell the fish?
Just as people in fish markets get used to the smell,
you can get used to the feel of what you wear.
9. Processing Sensory Information
The sense organs provide our brain with a steady flow of information about our
environment and the brain’s task is then to take this raw material and use it to
help us make sense of that environment through the process of perception.
11. External factors
movement
contrast
repetition
size
stimulus provided by a change in the environment that is most important
12. Internal factors
Different people react to the same sensations in different ways. One person
may put on a sweater because the room is too cold, while another throws
open the windows. The most important internal factor in perception is
what people expect to see or hear in each situation.
17. Subliminal Perception
The sheer amount of exposure to a stimulus
increases our general feeling of liking for it.
18. Product Images, Self-images and Consumer Behaviour
Companies try to influence
consumer perceptions by
encouraging associations
between themselves and a
desirable and appropriate
image.
19. Perceiving Risk
performance financial
Six identified
time forms of risk
physical
psychological
20. Coping with Risk
Relying on brand
loyalty is the most
popular strategy
for reducing
perceived risk.
22. What makes someone a unique person?
The psychologist and the layman use the term personality
to make sense of an individual’s behaviour.
23. Define ‘Personality’
The sum total of all the
factors that make an
individual human being
both individual & human.
24. Freudian Iceberg
Ego Easy, you Conscious
both.
Unconscious
ID Superego
Do it!
No, no.
These three aspects of the personality are constantly interacting with
each other as we move through life. Frequently they are in conflict.
26. Owning a hot car is the psychic equivalent of having a mistress
27. Personality Tests
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory MMPI
★ most common encountered personality test, a questionnaire
★ 550 statements to answer with ‘true’, ‘false’, or ‘cannot say’
29. Personality Tests
Rorschach ink blot test

34. Brand Personality
A way of characterising the image of a brand by giving it
personal associations, as though it were an individual.
35. Module 6: Learning, Memory & Thinking
All consumer behaviour is learned behaviour
36. Learning is...
...the relatively permanent
process by which changes
in behaviour, knowledge,
feelings or attitudes occur
as the result of prior
experience.
37. The Behaviourist Approach
Psychology as the behaviorist views it is a purely
objective branch of natural science. Its theoretical goal is
the prediction and control of behavior.
(Watson, 1913, p. 158)
42. Operant Conditioning: Consumer Applications
Your supermarket has a new
brand of yoghurt on offer and
you decide to try it, your future
purchases of the product will
depend on whether your
response is reinforced or
rewarded by your liking it.
43. The Cognitive Approach
See what someone does and infer from that behaviour
what she thinks or feels.
45. Information Processing & the Concept of Memory
Whatever we learned would be of no use to us unless we had some
way of storing it, ready to be retrieved when needed.
48. Making Learning Meaningful: Self-referencing
When people are asked to relate information to their own lives
their memory of the material is increased.
52. How Managers see employee motivation
THEORY X THEORY Y
People are inherently lazy so they must be People seek meaning and a sense of
motivated by external incentives accomplishment and to exercise auton- omy
and be independent in their work
They will pursue their own goals, which run As they are basically controlled and self-
counter to those of the organisation, so they motivated they will find external controls and
need extra controls to keep them in line incentives demeaning
They are quite irrational and incapable of If they are only given the chance to do so
self-discipline or self-control they will come to regard the organisation’s
goals as their own.
The rare individuals who are rational,
controlled and self-motivated will therefore
have to manage others.
53. Motivation - the wish, need, desire - to do so.
A general term for any part of
the hypothetical psychological
process which involves the
experiencing of needs and drives
and the behaviour that leads to
the goal which satisfies them.
54. Motivation and Buying Behaviour
Buying
Behaviour = Ability + Opportunity + Motivation
BB = ƒ(A, O, M)
59. The Motivational Mix: Multiple Motives
One important implication for marketers is that where people
do not enter a shopping mall with specific purchases in mind
they need to consider the factors that underlie impulse buying.
61. The Motivational Mix The Force of Inertia
Unless we are actively seeking certain products
we will follow our established buying habits.
62. The Motivational Mix: Antecedents of Involvement 1/3
Concerned with
consumer’s self-image
and the needs, drives,
values, interests and
fantasies. I.e.Intimate
relationship with their
car, buying of car
magazines.
PERSON
63. The Motivational Mix: Antecedents of Involvement 2/3
Consumer’s perception
of the product, affects
the level of involvement.
Product
64. The Motivational Mix: Antecedents of Involvement 3/3
A consumer’s level of
involvement can also be
influenced by the
situation in which a
product is being
purchased.
Situation
65. The Motivational Mix: Properties of Involvement
Consumers who
are highly involved
will spend a great
deal of time and
effort on making
purchase decisions.
66. The Motivational Mix: Outcomes of Involvement
The outcomes of involvement will depend on the interaction
between the preceding two sets of factors.
68. The Motivational Mix: Need of Achievement (labelled n Ach)
People high on n Ach have a preference for particular situations, where the degree
of risk involved is neither high nor low but moderate, feedback on their
performance is provided, individual responsibility is acknowledged.
69. The Motivational Mix: Need of Affiliation
This need is characterised by the particular importance to
the individual of love and acceptance and the feeling of belonging.
70. The Motivational Mix: Need of Power
Maslow’s level of Safety. That is, people who are high on this need seek
a feeling of security by trying to control as much of their lives and their
environment as possible.
71. Unconscious Motivation
When a woman bakes a cake and pulls it out of the oven she is
(unconsciously and symbolically) going through the process of giving birth.
73. Unconscious Motivation
Research showed that
killing roaches with a
bug spray and
watching them squirm
and die allowed women
to express their
hostility toward men,
and it also afforded them a feeling of power and
control over their immediate environment.
74. Semiotics
Semiotics is concerned with the meanings that signs and symbols have
for people, both consciously and unconsciously.
75. Relationship between Maslow’s hierarchy
